15 Getting Started 1: Installing the speakers This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system. To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound, be sure to connect all the speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a subwoofer (5.1 channel). You can place your speakers as shown below. AFront speaker (left) BFront speaker (right) CCenter speaker DSurround speaker (left) ESurround speaker (right) FSubwoofer HT-SS370 only Getting Started HT-SF470 only Notes Be sure to use the supplied speakers. For HT-SF470, do not lean on the speaker as it may fall down. Tips The angle A should be the same. A 30 A Since the subwoofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want. 15 US

16 Installing the speakers on a flat surface HT-SF470 only Before you install the center speaker and the subwoofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to prevent vibration or movement as shown in the illustration below. Installing the speakers on the wall You can install your speakers on the wall. 1 Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable for the hook on the back of each speaker. See the illustrations below. 3/16 in (4 mm) more than 1 in (25 mm) Note Attach the small foot pads to the center speaker and big foot pads to the subwoofer. Installing the speakers on the speaker stand For greater flexibility in positioning the speakers, you are recommended to use the speaker stand as below. Model HT-SF470 HT-SS370 Speaker stand Supplied. For details, refer to the supplied Quick Setup Guide. Optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D speaker stand (available only in certain countries). For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the speaker stand. 7/32 in (5 mm) 13/32 in (10 mm) Hook on the back of the speaker 2 Fasten the screws to the wall.

As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied. Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall material or screws to be used. Sony is not responsible for accident or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc. For HT-SF470, if you install the speakers on the wall, you do not need to attach the supplied speaker stand.

Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected component. Check the setup of the connected component if the image is poor or the sound does not come out of a component connected via the HDMI cable. Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency, the number of channels or the audio format of the audio output signals from the playback component is switched. When the connected component is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the image and/or the sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be distorted or may not be output. In this case, check the specification of the connected component. You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI connection. Set the image resolution of the playback component to 720p, 1080i or 1080p when you output 96 khz multi channel sound over an HDMI connection. You may need to make certain settings on the image resolution of the player before you can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer to the operating instructions of the player. Refer to the operating instructions of each component connected for details. Not every HDMI component supports all functions that are defined by the specified HDMI version. For example, components that support HDMI, version 1.4, may not support Audio Return Channel (ARC). 22 US

23 (Except for HT-SS370, models of area code U2 only) When you use HDMI connection, you can enjoy 3D (three dimension) video contents with 3D compatible TV and 3D compatible components (e.g.: Blu-ray Disc player, Blu-ray Disc recorder, PlayStation 3 ), together with the appropriate 3D glasses. (Except for HT-SS370, models of area code U2 only) 3D images may not be displayed properly, depending on the specification of the 3D compatible TV and 3D compatible components. For details on the 3D video format supported by this receiver, see page 73. Connecting video components The following illustration shows how to connect video components such as DVD player, DVD recorder, etc. It is not necessary to connect all the cords. Connect audio and video cords according to the jacks of your components. Notes If you connect a DVD player/recorder, be sure to change the initial setting of the VIDEO button on remote so that you can use the button to control your DVD player/recorder. For details, see Changing the input button assignments (page 57). To input multi channel digital audio from the DVD player, set the digital audio output setting on the DVD player. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the DVD player. When connecting optical digital cords, insert the plugs straight in until they click into place. Do not bend or tie optical digital cords. Be sure to connect the video output of the DVD player and DVD recorder to the TV, so that the image is displayed on the TV. Refer to the operating instructions of each connected component for details. You cannot do recording on the DVD recorder via this receiver. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the DVD recorder. Tip All the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 khz, 44.1 khz, 48 khz, and 96 khz sampling frequencies.

25 7: Calibrating the appropriate settings automatically (AUTO CALIBRATION) This receiver is equipped with DCAC (Digital Cinema Auto Calibration) Technology which allows you to perform automatic calibration as follows: Check the connection between each speaker and the receiver. Adjust the speaker level. Measure the distance of each speaker from your listening position. Measure the frequency characteristics.* * The measurement result is not utilized for signals with a sampling frequency of more than 96 khz. The DCAC is designed to obtain proper sound balance in your room. However, you can adjust the speaker levels manually according to your preference. For details, see To adjust the speaker levels (page 60). Before you perform Auto Calibration Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set up and connect the speakers (page 15, 18). The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not connect other microphones to this jack. Doing so may damage the receiver and the microphone. During the calibration, the sound that comes out of the speakers is very loud. The volume of the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay attention to the presence of children or to the effect on your neighborhood. Perform the Auto Calibration in a quiet environment to avoid the effect of noise and to get a more accurate measurement. If there are any obstacles in the path between the optimizer microphone and the speakers, the calibration cannot be performed correctly. Remove any obstacles from the measurement area to avoid measurement error. Notes If the muting function has been activated before you perform Auto Calibration, the muting function will be set to off automatically. When you use the S-AIR product, disconnect the headphones.
